Sucked Dry

Okay, so I saw Eclipse at 12:03 AM on Wednesday morning. Have you seen Two Weeks Notice? When Hugh Grant is playing chess with his driver and they're talking about women and the driver says, "You taIk about your feelings until your breath is sucked out your body."

That's how the conversations were in Eclipse. And that's how I feel in general. The breath's been sucked out of my body.

But in a good way.

WriteOnCon opened up for registration yesterday. We had over 360 people register yesterday. It's awesome to feel their enthusiasm.

I've been editing this week. It's the best part of the process (for me), but holy brain cell drainage, Batman.

So I'm sucked dry. And this is the blog post you get because of it. I did buy myself some orange sherbet to aid in the recovery process, and that's what I'm going to spend the holiday weekend doing. What about you? When you're sucked dry, how do you rejuvenate?

It sounds like you are sucked dry in a kinda good way--if there is such a thing. Not burned out sucked dry, but just tired. So, I say, go for a run, take a bath and read an excellent book. You'll feel rejuvenated in no time. :) I hope you feel filled up in no time!

Orange sherbet. Hmm...me thinks lime, more refreshing. You could even toss a few scoops into a glass of Patron and soda. Good stuff. Enjoy your weekend, E. Take a break. Remember, you always tell us it's okay. ":-)

Yes, Two Weeks Notice is SO good! My favorite part is when Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock are testing out mattresses at the store!! When I'm sucked dry I head for the lake. No phone, no internet... just me the water, the cabin and absolute quiet.

Took the wife opening night with some friends. I had a great time, if for no other reason than seeing one of my best guy friends (his wife is a Twihard as well) squirm every time the requisite teen squeal came from an Edward appearance on screen. I'll not mention the slightly creepy grown woman whoop that came from Jacob sightings ...

I just realized I'm going to be out of town for most or all of the WriteOnCon - without Internet access! I'm so sad at the timing! But I've had everything booked for over 6 months & it's my first vacation in 2 years! :(

Glad to hear so many people have already registered for WriteOnCon! I haven't seen Two Weeks Notice, sounds like I must remedy this. I haven't seen Eclipse yet either and am dying to! When I get sucked dry I rejuvenate by seeing a movie or reading a good book. When that isn't enough I go on vacation to a nice, relaxing place! Best of luck on your recovery. The ice-cream should definitely help.

“Most [readers] will be drawn in by the love triangle, revelations about Vi and her family, and a dark twist ending that maintains the faintest glimmer of hope.” --Publisher's Weekly

“If George Orwell's novel 1984 were to have a little stepsister, Johnson's POSSESSION would be her....
